When I slice something I can see that my .gcode files now includes base64 image:

Tried to restart printer. Enable/disable show file thumbnails. But still I can't get it to work.

I got it to work.

Python 3.10. While you're in python setup windows set the checkbox add Python 3.10 to PATH. Enable all optional features. Go to Advanced, check add python to environment variables, set install directory C:\Program Files\Python310

Check if the "Cura_JPEG_Preview.py" is put in the correct directory -> C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\cura\4.12\scripts

Then open Cura go to Extensions > Post processing > Modify G-Code -> Add a script - > Create JPEG Preview

Now if everything is done right you will see little icon next to slicing button which shows that the script is enabled.

P.S Don't forget to enable thumbnails in your printer >
Control -> Visual -> Show file Thumbnails
